One other film I saw several times in the early 70's, was about sounds. I think it was two unseen girls talking about all the different sounds there are in our world. One girl sounded around age 10-12 and the other about 8. At the end of the clip, a lake or pond is shown with trees all around...

Thanks for the very nice words Mikebennidict. I enjoy all the contributions you and SesameMike make here too. It's great fun to see comments from others who both remember and appreciate the things from vintage Sesame Street. Like just the other day I was thinking of that old clip with David...

Just a bit earlier today, I posted in a Sesame Street films thread about both the eggs one and the pigs one. I was scanning that thread and others for those two and didn't find anything. Now I just came across your post here from last month and see you mentioned both of them! :) Yeah, the...

There were some farm animal films too. I remember one was showing animals while some peculiar music played. After a little while the music ends. Then we hear sounds the animals make (like sheep bahhhing, pigs grunting, and a dog barking). When I was in kindergarten (1972-1973) the teacher showed...

Thank you. And I see from the one of the posts of the thread you referenced that the man was indeed David. I was pretty sure it was. I think the only thing that might have had me wondering for sure if it was him was that I seem to remember he looked a little different than normal in this...

And let me add that it's only fitting that a fellow Philadelphian would get the right answer. :D

Very good! That was fast. By the way, the 50/50 left James Earl Jones and Harry Belafonte. The contestant went with Belafonte.

This was a question ( worth $50,000) on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" today: In 1969, who became the first celebrity to make a guest appearance on Sesame Street? A. Ray Charles B. Johnny Cash C. James Earl Jones D. Harry Belafonte The contestant used the 50-50...

Here's a sketch I enjoyed seeing several times in the early 70's. I think David was the one (and only one) in this one. He kept opening a door (or a small size door like a trap door) to see what was behind it. Each time he saw it was simply another door, he looked at the viewer with an...

I recall this one quite well. (2) It takes place in their apartment (3) It's pretty good. Another great example of classic Ernie and Bert. (4) The ending music was the same used in quite a bit of skits, including non Ernie and Berts, such as the skit where Cookie Monster rings the...

I was only two and a half when I started watching SS (when it debuted in 1969) so I have no idea which muppet,human,skit,cartoon,or film I had the pleasure of seeing first. Great subject for a thread here, though! Seeing Sam the Robot mentioned here made me smile. I got a kick out of him...

Here's a few great classic monster skits in my memory vault: (1) Herry, Grover, and a small monster say, "1,2,3. 3 monsters." Then they shuffle around and put themselves in a different order and repeat the same line. They continue this several times and then tire themselves out and fall down...

Yeah I remember the hand one real well. Starts with a voice saying, "There once was hand. Like most hands, it had a thumb and four fingers..." When the hand notices the other hand ( before they start clapping) the music was really neat. The one with the clouds I don't remember all of, but the...

Here's another I haven't seen since at least 1975; but saw it a lot of times before that; and found it to be enjoyable and memorable: A man (rather elderly) is walking down a busy street sidewalk and a voice says to him, "Excuse me sir, do you know what forwards means?" He says, "Forwards...

I remember about a year ago or so coming across an online petition to bring back classic Sesame Street shows. I just tried to google search it, and the site is listed, but I was unable to get it displayed. Not sure if it's still active. I remember there wasn't very many total signatures either...

Another great Guy Smiley skit! Loved the sound effects of the spinning. I also had the same thought when not that old: Why not just sell the plane and then buy a store full of cookies! But I guess Cookie Monster was enticed by getting to eat that cookie right away, whereas selling the plane and...

True, Bob Keeshan turned down an offer to be in the new Captain Kangaroo show when it was brought back a few years ago. They were making changes he didn't like and refused to let him do his show his way (which was brilliant for years and years). A lot of things fall into the category of "they...

Yes d is the correct answer. But I was wondering if anyone remembers an early 70's sketch where three anything muppets did the high, middle, and low song? I think the one who did the low part looked like Simon the Soundman. Also, was the version with Herbert Birdsfoot, Ernie, and Bert ever on...

I don't remember ever seeing Kermit and Ernie interact with each other either. But also, I don't remember Kermit and Bert ever interacting, which would have been much more feasible since it would have been Henson and Oz. There was a Grover and Ernie I recall (Grover counts Ernie's balloons by...

Yeah I vote for the "Beat the Time" one. When Guy Smiley says to Cookie Monster, "On your mark, get set, Go! " and the clock starts ticking, Cookie monster just stands there and says nonchalantly, "When do me start?". It is so hilarious when Guy screams, "You start now!!! GO GO GO GO!!!" and...
